Peer out the window,
before turning off the light.
Fearing what might happen,
in the middle of the night.
As you lay your head to rest,
your heart is pounding in your chest.
Leave this place I wish I could,
In this dodgy neighbourhood.

I tune in the radio,
to hear the latest news.
Several local cases,
where bail was refused.
Toothless zombies walk the streets,
you never know who you might meet.
Alone at night they’ll beat you down,
on this sorry side of town.

They’ll threaten to kill you,
if you don’t comply.
Say they’ll put you in the ground,
with a bullet between your eyes.
You’ll hand them your wallet,
and tremble with fear,
You take your life in your own hands,
When you’re living here.

They’ll threaten to kill you,
if you don’t comply.
Say they’ll put you in the ground,
with a bullet between your eyes.
You’ll empty your pockets,
with a barrel in your spine,
You can’t escape this place,
the violence and the crime.

Lock your windows and doors,
don’t go out at night.
The demons in the shadows,
are bound to end your life.
Monsters are waiting,
hiding in the park.
Just like a horror film,
that happens after dark.
